4G LTE coverage on Three in London UK without LTE band 20?

4G LTE coverage on Three in London UK without LTE band 20?

I'm on Three and use the international Nexus 5 right now, which has great LTE speeds in the UK but it doesn't do 4G when I travel to the U.S. So the 1+1 is intriguing for this and other reasons (battery, FLAC, storage capacity, etc.).

But, per this article it sounds like the 1+1 is less than ideal for the UK.

Does anyone know how much of Three's LTE network in London (where I spend most of my time) is band 3 vs. band 20? If London is all band 3 them I'm good to go, but if a large chunk of Three's London LTE is band 20 then this phone is a non-starter for me.

Just contact Three and ask which band they use for the specific area.
Trust me when I say as a former call centre agent that they get way more retarded questions than that when working at the customer support line.

Heh. My experience with call centre reps makes me skeptical of asking them for this but I'll give it a shot.

If the call centre route doesn't work is there an app to log LTE band data to see how often I'm on which band in London?
